<DIV>If Carrol had loftier intentions, he sure hasn't stated them here. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>--why must he state them, to satisfy you? I think
it's rather clear why he signed the petition, much like why Chomsky thinks the
trial of Milo is farcical...Only difference is you assign support for Milo or
Jared Israel to Carrol...But people who follow what Carrol has written know that
not to be the case, so why should he answer it. I guess in the 50's leftists
should have answered "are you or have you ever been"...</FONT></DIV>

<P>But enough about this. You don't think it's a big deal signing a petition
supporting a murderous thug and ethnic cleanser. Fair enough. That's your
benchmark, and you're welcome to it. <BR></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>--I don't think it's a big deal calling for his
release from Hague custody, the main purpose of the petition from what I can
tell. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial

<P>Why do you have this impression that Chomsky's anger should be a media
tactic? </P>
<P>--I can't imagine why else it should matter. I just heard him give a
speech today on Democracy Now, same ol' monotone Noam, whether he talks about
Saddam or Bush...I would think his position on issues would be what leftists
would want to debate, not his tone...the former is substantive, the latter is as
picayune as it gets a la Gitin or Hitchens type pro-war celebrities who play
lefties on TV but not in real life...</P>

<P>Jesus H -- where'd you learn to debate: Romper Room? I'm telling you about my
personal experience, and that's what it was</P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>--great, and i'm telling you what i saw and see to
this day...religious and non-religious types interact at a number of levels,
show up at each other's events, cooperate *and* have disagreements with each
other...i find it hard to believe NY and Boston are that different...aside from
the heroic nature of Red Sox fans...</FONT></P>
